Sumario: | Traumatic dislocation of testis is a rare event. We report a case of traumatic testicular dislocation in a 27-year-old patient presenting a right inguinal lump in a context of acute alcohol abuse with transient global amnesia. There was a tender mass in the right inguinal region and right hemiscrotum. He ascertained a previous scrotal position of both testes. The Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of a dislocated right testis in right inguinal canal and surgical reduction and orchidopexy was performed. It is necessary to perform a complete physical examination in a trauma patient, early detection and management are both essential to preserve normal spermatogenic function. |
